i To ollwi'iomt may concern:

Be it knovm that I, J OHN BJORKLUND, a citizen of the United States,residing at Baymond, in the county of Sheridan and State .5 of Montana,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cigar Holders, ofwhich the following is a. specification.

This invention relates to improvements in cigar holders and its objectis to provide a simple and practical device of this type that is cheapto manufacture and neat in appearance. A further object is to provide adevice for holding cigars that is sanitary and economical in use. With.the foregoing and other objects in View the invention con sists in thecombination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter fully described,pointed out in the appended claim and illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing which forms a part of this specification and in which Fig. 1 isa view of my improved cigar holder in side elevation illustrating itsapplication.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a slightly modified form of the device.

Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 3--3 of Fig. 1, enlarged.

Like reference characters denote corresponding parts throughout theseveral views. The reference numeral 1 denotes a tube preferablyhexagonal in cross section as shown in Fig. 3. Both ends of the tube arethreaded and the end2 is curved and provided with the bulb which isreadily removable and easily cleaned.v The bulb 3 is preferably madeornamental or fancy in appearance and of a light durable material. suchas aluminum or the like The opposite end of the tube is threadedinteriorly to receive the mouth-piece 4.

Referring now to Fig. 1 I provide the tube 1920. Serial No. 381,005.

1 with the hollow perforate impaling-point 5 adapted to pierce the cigar7 and when the cigar is lighted the smoke is drawn through themouth-piece 4, tube 1 and impalingnpoint 5 and any moisture, nicotine orthe like will gravitate into the bulb 3. The tube 1 is provided alsowith a sliding ring the tubeengaging portion of which is of hexagonalformation to conform to the periphery of said tube so that little or nolateral play of the ring upon the tube is possible. The larger portionof the sliding ring engages with the cigar 7 to retain the same in fixedposition, in conjunction with the impaling' point. during the smoking;-operation.

Referring now to Fig. 2 the tube 1 is formed with the elongatedimpaling-point 9, perforated. and adapted for insertion in thenon-lighted end of the cigar. This form of holder permits the smoker touse the entire cigar without waste of any portion thereof thus combiningefliciency and economy.

Vhat is claimed. is zi In a cigar holder, a curved tube, a bulbreleasably carried at one end of said tube, a mouthpiece at the otherend of said tube, and an elongated perforate impaling point bent at oneend for engagement with the curved tube. the main portion of saidimpalinntube extending parallel to and being spaced away from the curvedtube for insertion in one end of a cigar as sole support for the same.

In testimony that l claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto ah'ixedmy signature in the presence of two subscribing.witnesses.
